French Pastries Cafe
Often times we are asked, "is Carlsbad French Pastry Cafe really French?" The answer: Of course! When Parisian owner, Olivier Baudier, came to the United States after graduating professional restaurant school, he was waitering and bartending. In 1986, at a soccer game he met a fellow Frenchman, this one a pastry chef!

With his knowledge in restaurant management and help from his new pal, Olivier was able to open Carlsbad French Pastry Cafe in 1998. The first few years were tough, and the restaurant needed a lot of work, but with some elbow grease and his dreams in sight, he was able to build a strong clientele with regular customers.

The team helped me make a decision on what to order. They were all super helpful and when I took the first sip of my coffee, I absolutely loved it.
I highly recommend!

Best bakery in North County!!! I have been coming here off and on for 25 years. 22 Years ago I bought a cake for my mothers day get together and it ruined me!!! I have never bought a grocery store cake since. Excellent coffee and the florentines (?) are my favorite!

Absolutely delicious pastries, well made coffee, and very friendly staff. You can special order cakes or come in for lunch. Clean and cute and such a pleasant surprise. I had a blackened apricot tart that was potentially the best thing I have ever tasted.

Amazing cake! Ordered the raspberry cheesecake for a birthday party, delicious. Not too sweet, perfect and beautiful.
The croissants will fulfill your expectations. Perfectly buttery and French

This was our first visit at this French patisserie place. My wife and I had excellent sandwiches and we bought quite a few pastries for home. All of them were very tasty and nicely arranged. We will be going again soon.
I highly recommend it. Go and get a sliver of French patisserie food and pastries.

Clean place and super friendly staff. No indoor dining right now but there are 6 tables outside. I only had a pastry today and coffee. Coffee is great. Pastry is consistent with other places. Full breakfast menu but didn't get a chance to eat it.

I love their lemon cake thingy and my husband loves their creme brulee. The fruit tarts filling was a little bland. But we still really love this place. Friendly service. Excited to try the other stuff.

We picked up a handful of desserts for a little gathering we were having. Items were not cheap, but they were pretty good. They have a great selection though. There’s a small dining area. Coffee, crepes, and sandwiches too.
